I'm a little concerned that the Ritual Device doesn't have enough capability to be used in combat.

@VitaVitaAR

That is... the roleplay's entire premise is that a combative tournament is substituting for murdering random monstrous invaders. With an ability like that and fighting skill of 'I know some self defence', you go from 'underpowered' to 'I like glorified suicide'.

I can see several ways it would be useful in combat, but none more actually... worth using than just having a really strong headbutt.

...It's too late for me to jump in, isn't it? Sorry, just kind of got hit by stuff and kind of couldn't figure stuff out and spent too long freaking out about getting stuff done um sorry.

@Rin

We have moved one room only. Your character has had to get used to having no bones, muscles, or differentiated tissues at all. That's a pretty big jump to make. Why would it be too late? I think someone joined yesterday... @_@

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

Well, at least you can read it, now.
I'd rather go with that 'cause I only ever write one paragraph, and if I broke that up, my post would look absolutely pathetic, lol.

@Lugia

I am always in favour of more paragraphs over fewer. TOPICS ARE A NUANCED THING! xD

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

Well, it breaks it up a little. Still inferior to paragraphing because I am a grammar pedant, but it's easier to go through. XD

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

Wouldn't that be more work than just inserting line breaks twice...?

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

@Lugia Can you please break your posts up more? They're really hard to read without any paragraphing.

Now, I'm not trying to start anything or something, but I'm honestly finding it a bit stranger that Ariana is assuming you have to be externally freaking out to be 'freaking out'.

The fact that Arianna is kinda...throwing a temper tantrum and accusing people that aren't acting like she is, aren't freaking out on some level, is kind of a childish trait. Which means, it's not to much of a stretch for people to assume she's a kid.

@Rune_Alchemist

That's pretty much the definition of panic, not a tantrum. It's an appropriate response. So many characters are totally blasé about being dead. Also the room full of corpses.

Which is making replying pretty hard, since so much of the cast seems to have no sympathy for anyone that doesn't have the ability to control their emotions of a first responder. That and, even if I come up with a reason to swimmingly ignore the field of corpses, I am terrible at exploring,

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

It's because she looks (the image you chose) and acts like a child.

@Lugubrious

Totally different character that doesn't look like a child, though. Just small. I'm glad to know that the number one criteria for adulthood is not freaking out about apparently dying and being turned into another species. O_o

It's just that all the assumptions people who have been turned into lizards and cats and things are making about the age of others is frankly hilarious. And inevitably someone treating an imp like a child but being told that they're nearly 70 would be amusing.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

What I find stranger is how multiple characters have assumed the spider girl is a child.

The temptation to have Saffron have been Alice Cooper aged before being set on fire is huge. >.>

I'm not entirely sure what problem you have with a player being underpowered. It's hardly going to break the game and if I end up behind the power curve that's my fault and I'm the one who will have to live with it.

As for the second piece of gear, originally all I had was a normal gun. You suggested that I needed to upgrade it a magitech weapon. Your worry about giving out more gear to some people is perfectly understandable, however my setup is apparently still underpowered so I hope it's not as much of a problem as it might be otherwise.

@Silvan Haven

The problem being less 'underpowered' and more 'the character's main ability is actually not terribly relevant'. Second part is... well, the basic premise is of a tournament and using multiple pieces of magitech is a bit iffy (and normal guns are constrained by this thing called 'chemistry', so...)

Would probably work better if you skipped the myth basis and combined the two things? Like... scoped rifle with all the sight things and a pistol?
